In a castle of Westphalia, belonging to the Baron of Thunder-ten-Tronckh, lived a youth, whom nature had endowed with the most gentle manners.
베스트팔렌의 성에 있는 썬더텐트론크 남작의 성에는 천성적으로 매우 온화한 성품을 지닌 젊은이가 살고 있었습니다.
His countenance was a true picture of his soul.
그의 얼굴은 그의 영혼을 그대로 반영하고 있었다.
He combined a true judgment with simplicity of spirit, which was the reason, I apprehend, of his being called Candide.
그는 참된 판단력과 순수한 마음을 겸비했는데, 이것이 그가 캉디드라고 불린 이유라고 나는 생각합니다.
The old servants of the family suspected him to have been the son of the Baron's sister, by a good, honest gentleman of the neighborhood, whom that young lady would never marry because he had been able to prove only seventy-one quarterings, the rest of his genealogical tree having been lost through the injuries of time.
그 가문의 늙은 하인들은 그가 남작의 누이의 아들이자 동네의 선량하고 정직한 신사의 아들이라고 의심했는데, 그 젊은 아가씨는 그가 단지 71개의 혈통만 증명할 수 있었고 나머지 가계도는 세월의 흐름으로 인해 사라졌기 때문에 그와 결혼하지 않았다.
The Baron was one of the most powerful lords in Westphalia, for his castle had not only a gate, but windows.
남작은 베스트팔렌에서 가장 강력한 영주 중 한 명이었는데, 그의 성에는 문뿐 아니라 창문도 있었기 때문입니다.
His great hall, even, was hung with tapestry.
그의 큰 홀은 태피스트리로 장식되어 있었다.
All the dogs of his farm-yards formed a pack of hounds at need; his grooms were his huntsmen; and the curate of the village was his grand almoner.
그의 농장의 모든 개들은 필요할 때 사냥개 무리를 이루었고, 그의 마부들은 그의 사냥꾼이었으며, 마을의 부목사는 그의 최고 자선 담당자였습니다.
They called him "My Lord," and laughed at all his stories.
그들은 그를 "나의 주님"이라 부르며 그의 모든 이야기를 비웃었습니다.
